paleontological

/pˌeɪlioʊntəlˈɑdʒɪkəl/ adj

Of or pertaining to paleontology.

Word Origin Paleontological is the adjective for paleontology, the study of ancient beings. It's built from Greek palaios 'ancient' + onta 'beings' (literally 'things that are') + logos 'study'. So it's the study of ancient life. The onto- part is the same as in ontology (the study of being), and paleo- appears in Paleolithic (ancient stone age). A wonderfully layered word.
